DIGITAL v TRADITIONAL

[Anonymous No.2032792]

I really feel like there is a a separation between work that is appropriate to be digital and stuff that should be traditional.

I feel that for the most part digital art should contain characters and stories. Stuff where the meaning comes from the world the artwork is in and not so much the art itself. Something rubs me the wrong way when a digital piece of art is trying to portray a more classical meaning.

And in my mind anything is free game with traditional art.

I think digital art should capitalize on being digital and stop trying to emulate traditional art so much, leave the traditional to the traditional medium and do something new with digital. Of course, there are people who do, but a grainy oil painting with chromatic aberration made in photoshop seems a bit lazy. I think its appropriate for digital artists to make more traditional pieces. I think its a bit disrespectful to digital artists to say that their work cant match traditional work, but I do think that too many digital artists are trying to emulate traditional art instead of thinking more outside the box

I like the way you explained that. I guess the emulation thing is probably what I was most worried about.

However there are still pieces like pic related that I really dislike for their being digital. And I'm not entirely sure why. I guess it just feels lazy like you said.

thanks. yeah, that is lazy. its not being innovative or creative, the idea is very basic. also, its not really using digital very effectively. you could easily do that with traditional tools. granted, I don't really have an example of a really good digital painting that can really only be done digitally.

I guess a lot of cyberpunk art is hard to do with traditional tools? I like the dither technique a lot and that is really only able to be done digitally, glitch art as well i guess, but that can be really hit or miss

I do both. I prefer traditional and I like the aesthetic of it way more, but I use digital when I'm under time constraints. However, I import hand drawn elements and manipulate them. I try to get my digital stuff to look traditional. If some things look too crisp and vectory clean or too processed and photoshopped, I change those parts. Either way, everything I do starts with pencil on paper and I scan my sketches in and keep the imperfections when creating a finish.

It's like music, shit that's raw and has a few tasteful mistakes feels like it has more soul than crisp, clean, overly processed music where every bit of imperfection is edited out, compressed, cleaned up and autotuned.

The computer is just a medium. Its a tool a visual artist can use that can emulate most traditional art forms. While it cant act just like traditional mediums, and able to do things traditional mediums cant. Like 3d programs have an entirely different method for working with a 3d object/scene/space.

Its up to personal preference of the artist to chose how they want to work and what their results look like. An experienced artist knows how to use their toolbelt of mediums to excract ideas and images out of their thoughts.

Though I think you might be having more of an issue with what most people are painting digitally, by not contributing a whole lot in the contemporary art world. which I think that's because there isn't enough digital artists trying to push themselves into galleries or there isn't a demand for it within the fine art world/ar market.

This is just making me think that digital painting will be recognized as an equal medium as traditional ones, eventually having prints/screens displaying digital pieces OR virtual reality galleries if vr tech becomes more integrated in our daily lives

hello there babby

As a "traditional" painter I envy digital painters because they are so much closer to each other. It's hard to find other "traditional" painters with the same background, ideas, or goals, but digital painters have online communities which are closer. Even in the various different goals for digital there are sizable communities for each.

Your lack of art knowledge nullify your argument, just because "modern art" is the most showcased doesn't mean artists don't go the classical route anymore.

So Min Yum, Ruan Jia, Jaime Jones, Craig Mullins, are all babby tier right?
They all work in digital for the most part.
Digital is just a tool like oils, watercolours or gouache are, nothing more.
A competent digital painter could pick up a traditional medium and once he learns the control of that medium could paint well in it.
Same for a good traditional painter, once he learned the differences of digital he could paint well in it too.
I bet you suck in both traditional and digital too, everybody who holds this mentality to different work methods always does.

All 3 of those also paint and draw in traditional just as well, like I said, it's all just tools.

I used Photoshop brushes that emulate the look and feel of oil paints, and used additional textures to push the canvas aesthetic. I also have a healthy amount of illustration work coming in demanding my approach.

How does it feel there's nothing you can do about it?

About what?

[Anonymous No.2036610]

Digital is just a medium that has a wider range of possibilities, emulate tradional is one of these possibilities, so why not?

Tradional art has it's own charm and many artists want to add that to their digital work.

If you use digital art just to for things you could never do in traditional art, you would be making it a lot less useful, especially if we think that digital art is a lot faster, therefore a better medium for entertainment segment.

I could agree with you when an artist try to perfectly emulate traditional art.

Now, mixing traditional art features with digital exclusive features is exactly what makes digital art a very valuable tool.
